Gotta make a decision then. If they're children and aren't responsible for their own decisions - such as joining the military - then they shouldn't be able to vote and effect policy either. Can't have it both ways. Either they're capable of making responsible decisions - voting and joinging the military for example - or they're not. It can't be one or the other, whichever is more convenient.
